Quick Guide: Downtown Tour of Raleigh, NC
Alfred and I travel as often as possible and it’s something we really enjoy doing. For us, there is nothing better than hopping on a plane and heading to a foreign place. There are plenty of reasons to love traveling. Seeing new places, meeting new people, trying new things, and learning about the world are just a few of the reasons we love it.
But sometimes people are so caught up in traveling to other places they forget to appreciate their own city and/or state. We live in Raleigh, North Carolina which is a mid-sized city in the southern US. The city has received tons of awards and recognition including:
–Best Restaurant in NC (Bida Manda)
-#1 #1 Among Best Cities for Men Who Want to Be Fit and Happy

And the list really does go on and on.
So, I created a quick 1-page guide for spending the day in Raleigh, NC. It includes restaurants, parks, bars, and other attractions that I love in this city. Despite it being the best at pretty much everything, Raleigh isn’t really a destination for most people. However, if you find yourself in Raleigh, remember to download this guide to hit up some of my favorite downtown
